Hacks in your area? Let's see what they've done...

quercus · 22nd January 2008, 12:26 PM

Since there is alot of hacking going on nowadays, and I've been very busy planning a fair and dedicating a part of it to education of people and how it shouldn't be done, I thought it'd be nice to see what kinda hackers you guys have around.

I've got about 500 pics... So here are my first.

500 pics...how demoralising.

quercus · 22nd January 2008, 02:39 PM

I've got a lot more actually, today I saw a tree that really really tops all hackers pics. Gonna go get a pic tomorrow.

It is definately a world wide pandemic,This type of malpratice upsets me enough here,Some of those trees...(trunks)..are on public land council should be able to find out who responsable and prosecute these mongrels!

We were called to remove this tree after it failed in a moderate wind. The original damage was caused by a contractor, who was adding the second story to the cabin. The contractor cut one of the co-dominant leads. There was a stub left which ozzed flux for years. The final blow was when the sap-sucker decided to make a home in the tree. Moral of the story, if your going to hire a contactor to add on to a house, why wouldn't you hire a contractor to look at yours trees, you can pay a little now or pay a lot later. Not to mention the risk to the public at large. Here is the result.

And possible decrease in property value due to the loss of a significant tree.

pomme · 23rd January 2008, 02:04 AM

Ekka · 23rd January 2008, 03:12 AM

Now I can see why you go off a bit about things there, what was the reason? are there power lines we can't see or something.

Ekka · 23rd January 2008, 05:05 AM

That's bloody terrible, that's way worse than here! What the hell sort of thinking is that?

Sean Freeman · 23rd January 2008, 05:18 AM

I like to call such interpretive work bollarding...they have created a bollard out of the tree. I've seen plenty of examples of bollarding up here.

I'll get more pics for you today... no power lines, no traffic problems, no things in immediate surroundings, no nothing... just pure hack-work by the city workers. When I e-mailed them they said that I wasn't a pro and knew nothing about it!!!!

Sean Freeman · 23rd January 2008, 05:34 AM

Hmmmm I'd be asking them just what their definition of a "pro" is then???

quercus · 23rd January 2008, 05:35 AM

some-one who is all but an arborist, I guess.
